Azi Dahaka immediately understood that this was his life flashing before his eyes.
The scenes of when he became the "Last Embryo," when he fought the million-strong host of gods, when he battled Indra—once an evil god of Zoroastrianism who later converted to Buddhism—only to be sealed by him, and when he fought Arcadia, the largest League community in the lower levels at the time, two hundred years ago, only to be sealed once more.
Until, at last... within those memories, he stood behind a figure.
She was the Mother of Evil Gods of Zoroastrianism.
Her birth had nothing whatsoever to do with Zoroastrianism. She was an existence that had appeared in Little Garden to bear the other half of the world.
Life and death, yin and yang, good and evil, male and female.
Because of the Omnipotent Paradox, Little Garden's gods were not permitted to construct a cosmology based on monism or monotheism.
Zoroastrianism, with its dualistic good and evil, rapidly fulfilled the least common multiple required for a cosmology and monopolized one of the greatest Historical Transition Periods.
And so, the Mother of Evil Gods of Zoroastrianism was forced to bear every negative element from the dawn of the world, forced to accept the title and position of a god, forced to become the Mother of Evil Gods.
Yet even such a Mother of Evil Gods always cried sorrowfully while fighting.
It was precisely because Azi Dahaka wished to wipe away his creator's tears that he established the oldest Demon Lord, the "Last Embryo"!
And he took upon himself the banner that symbolized "evil."
All to forge a future where humanity would attain victory!
'Please allow me to bear the sins you carry as well!'
And now was the moment that would decide the outcome of the contract!
